The first pay-per-event of the UFC in 2024 was a massive success as the entertaining card went down this past weekend inside the Scotiabank Arena, where the UFC middleweight title was on the line. Dricus Du Plessis eked out a split decision victory against Sean Strickland to become the newest king of the 185-pound division.
